Nana's Gulf Shores 2008 Finds
Just back from the beach and had a wonderful time. Got LOTS'A pictures, but I'll spare you all and just post the high spots.
(Sorry. No cammo pics, Nicky)
I love the beach. Just sitting there watching the waves come and go. And having the entire family with me was a bonus!
Other than what I found detecting, the best time was going on the dolphin cruise at Bear Point Marina.
It was amazing!....Here's how it played out.
Two boats. Each with about 50 people on them. Out into the waters and the first one to spot a group of dolphins calls the other boat. They watch to see which way the dolphins are swimming and then the boats take off, side by side with about 30 feet between the two, making a huge wave the whole way. The dolphins get into the wave and take a free ride, all the while jumping and spinning and having a great time. And the folks on the boats are in awe seeing them! Thanks to Charlie for the pics! Got lots of great ones! That was a fun time! Of course the usual visit to the Oyster House where the food was delish and Bahama Bob's was good too. There's a new spot called the Hang Out and it was fun. Charlie had a REALLY great time there! One more margarita though, and he'da been walking to the condo!
I did manage to get a little hunting time in. Three trips at midnight for a total of about four hours combined hunting time. I didn't wonder off very far from home, as for some reason no one wanted to go out to the beach and hunt with me. They all wanted to stay in and go to sleep!
First night out, I found my best keeper! The rest was just change, but I sure enjoyed the digging being soooo easy! I'm sooooo jealous of you guys that get to detect the sand all the time!
925 Italy 24" necklace with 925 St. Christopher pendant! I was SO excited when I found it! And then a earring and $3.49 in change. LOTS of pull tabs and beer tops not pictured. :P
Had a wonderful time and wish I was still there!
